Yes, you're right, of course. He wants me to feel well, and sees me grappling with side effects that don't reflect my true "nature." Today I sat with my doctor and had it out in the sense of "this med really, really is not working. I don't feel that you are listening to me and my complaints. What can we do about that?"
I cried the whole time, bawled my eyes out paying for the appointment and scheduling a follow up. More from relief of having spoken with her than anything, I think. When I asked whether maybe that Less is More, she looked really peeved. Gotcha!!
Victory was spent lying on the sofa with a purring cat on my head. It was a great reward IMO.
